I Built Linux from Scratch
For something that's more of a prepackaged build-your-own-Linux kit, KISS Linux[0] is also interesting. It's kind of a microdistro with minimal abstraction over the raw guts, and "packages" are just pre-downloaded source code repos that you compile yourself.
The "package manager" is just a shell script. The installation process[1] is entirely manual, so you control every step as you bootstrap up to building your own kernel and installing each subsystem all the way up to compiling and running Firefox. It's pretty neat.

Quick question
A good Bash code to read is some projects from GH user dylanaraps a creator of neofetch and KISS Linux (kiss is a package manager written in POSIX sh) another repo to explore is bashbox (forked from dylanaraps/bareutils) A coreutils written in pure bash.

Published a new crate - service-manager - to interact with launchd, systemd, sc.exe, and more
See KISS for examples - this is a real desktop system used by some people (including me... hopefully)

Strange directories in rootfs
Have a look at the source. These directories are created intentional. https://github.com/kiss-community/repo/blob/master/core/baselayout/build#L43 IIRC these directories are created on the distributions discretion.

How Do You Configure St and Sowm?
Have a look at the busybox package https://github.com/kiss-community/repo-main/tree/master/core/busybox . See how "custom" configs are added to the sources file of the package? These files are available when building the package, or would override if available in the tarball. You can do the same for software which is configured with config.h/config.def.h .
